Echinocereus pectinatus, commonly known as the Hedgehog Cactus or Strawberry Cactus, is a striking columnar species native to Mexico. Named for its distinctive comb-like spines that radiate outward, this cactus produces vibrant magenta or pink flowers in spring, followed by edible red fruits resembling strawberries. This hardy succulent thrives in bright, direct sunlight and well-draining cactus soil. Water sparingly during the growing season and reduce watering in winter. It prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate mild frost if kept dry. Ideal for sunny windowsills, conservatories, or outdoor gardens in temperate climates. Minimal maintenance makes it perfect for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Mature specimens can reach 30cm or more in height, creating an impressive focal point in any collection.
